Chapter 400: It’s All About Momentum

“Important notification: The Battle of Butterfly will initiate soon. Your data will be inputted in thirty seconds. Please do not leave the log-in lobby. Commencing the ten-second countdown before logging in. Nine, eight, seven... two, one.”

After the countdown ended, the system said, “Fluttering through the flowers is the Jade Butterfly, flapping its wing to glide proudly through the sky.”

With that opening, Feng Bujue was transported into the scenario.

“Downloaded completed. You are currently playing Tournament for the Best—Battle of the Cocoon.

“This mode does not have a scenario introduction, no side/hidden quest or unique world view.

“Reward for winning the scenario: Move onto the Final Tournament

“Main quest has been triggered.

“Kill your opponent.”

Soon the white light around Feng Bujue dissipated and his body regained mobility. He was standing in the middle of a Roman colosseum. Around him was a circular stand but there was no audience. Above him, the sun shone blindingly. Around him was silence. About 20 meters before Brother Jue stood a female player.

Xu Huai Shang was in the prime of her age. She was tall and slim, with a small waist and long hair. Her beauty was breath-taking, with fair skin and exquisite features. This was a woman who would make a lasting impression with her appearance. The uniform of Red Sakura accentuated her beauty. It was a long white dress with a pattern of blood sakura flowers. It fluttered in the wind, giving the woman the appearance of a fairy.

She was cautious around this mysterious Feng Bujue. She naturally had heard of the rumors that this was the player who placed second on the combat stat ranking. However, her gaming studio could get no information on this man, and that unsettled her.

He appears clean and decent... but he does not appear strong... Xu Huai Shang observed. Even though he is dressed quite uniquely, upon closer inspection... they are all cheap clothes, and they aren’t much use in battle. Other than the normal pocket, there is nothing that looks like it could store a weapon... Her eyes wandered all over Brother Jue. But this does not preclude the fact that it could all be a disguise or...

Suddenly Brother Jue moved. To confuse everyone, he knelt down on one knee...

What is he doing... asking me to marry him? Xu Huai Shang was baffled. She was more than ten meters away from him, but she still retreated half a step. The next second, Feng Bujue activated his skill calmly and summoned a strange-looking primary school student.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk... it’s for my time to shine again, is it...” Musashi Koganei appeared in all of his strangeness and smiled wretchedly. Actually, Brother Jue knelt down earlier just to complete the requirement for this summoning skill—to do a strange action.

Xu Huai Shang also soon realized that, but her speculation was... the summoning requirement was for the player ‘to go down on one knee.’

So, he is a summoning-based player? Xu Huai Shang thought to herself. But his summoned creature doesn’t look that strong... Perhaps it’s some high-level creature that uses magic or spiritual power? Just as she was speculating, Brother Jue whispered into Musashi’s ear. Then the latter turned around with a wicked smile and bounced away... he ran and ran until he left the colosseum.

What’s happening... Was I right? Xu Huai Shang looked at this but still did not move. But she asked probingly, “You asked that summoned creature to find a hiding spot... so he can snipe me from the dark?”

“Snipe from a hiding spot? Hue hue hue...” Brother Jue used a tactic he learned from Woody—to answer a question with a question and paired it with a wicked laugh. The tactic was horrid but useful. It had a high chance of angering the target and creating mental pressure at the same time. If you don’t believe me, try using this at school or at work... For example, when the teacher asks you, “What year was the Xin Hai Revolution?” You will answer, “Xin Hai Revolution is it... Hue hue hue...” When the manager from your department asks you, “Where is the report that I asked for this morning?” You will reply with a sneaky smile, “Oh, that report... Hue hue hue...” If you can combine that with an expression that suggested, you have used that thing to wipe your ass, that would be perfect. In conclusion, this tactic worked every time with immense consequences. Without the awareness of seeking death, please don’t ever use it, hue hue hue...

Anyway, back to the battle... Obviously, what Brother Jue did was merely using the scenario to complete his character quest, because he only needed two more tries to complete the 50 summoning so of course he would not give up the opportunity. But Xu Huai Shang did not know that. With the pressure given to her by Brother Jue, she shouldered an invisible burden, and she had no idea... She was only worried about a non-fighting creature that had already left the battlefield...

“Fine, so you don’t want to tell me.” Xu Huai Shang’s beautiful brow creased as anger entered her eyes. She continued, “Indeed... I shan’t expect you to reveal to me your tactic in battle.” As she spoke, her hands landed on the hilts of both swords, she was ready to take action. “No matter what it is, I will...” She stopped because Feng Bujue did something to shock her again.

What the... he took out a stool from his inventory? Xu Huai Shuang looked at the scene before her and she did not know what to say.

Brother Jue held the stool and waved it several times in the air like a professional baseball player warming up before the big match, his moves were quite impressive.

After the exercise, he took a deep breath and turned to Xu Huai Shang. “I am a gentleman, so I shan’t hold a lady’s time for too long.” He paused. “Therefore... you will soon be eliminated from this brutal and bloody competition. It’s for your own good.”
